This review is for Amanda Mulholland, who deserves 6+ stars for her work as our buyer's agent. She knows every neighborhood in Marin, showed great interest in and care for our wants and needs, and answered questions we didn't even know to ask. Her expert insights kept our search on track and she was responsive throughout, but Amanda really proved her worth when it came time to make offers (or choose not to) and negotiate with the seller - she really went to bat with the bank on our closing process and the seller on sharing the cost of an unexpected repair. Working with her gave us 100% confidence

Molly at Outpost exceeded our expectations! She listening to our needs/wants for a home in the Marin area and never gave up on finding us the perfect fit. In this market, buying a home can be tough but we were blown away by how quick and easy it was with her. She always made us feel like we were her only buyers-incredibly responsive, showing tours every weekend, and we could call her anytime to talk strategy. We would 100% recommend her

Outpost are some of the most highly skilled, hard working agents in California, bar none. From the moment we met Radhi and Scott, they were honest, trustworthy and overdelivered on everything. We had a firm goal in mind of what our home was worth and we shopped around with multiple realtors - and it was clear Outpost was head and shoulders above the rest. They worked so hard to design and stage our home and drove a frenzy of offers by timing the market. Above anything else we trusted them and their team through the entire process.
